COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France (AP) — When the sun rises over Omaha Beach, revealing vast stretches of wet sand extending toward distant cliffs, one starts to grasp the immensity of the task faced by Allied soldiers on June 6, 1944, landing on the Nazi-occupied Normandy shore. Several ceremonies were being held Sunday to commemorate the 77th anniversary of D-Day, the decisive assault that led to the liberation of France and western Europe from Nazi control, and honor those who fell. “These are the men who enabled liberty to regain a foothold on the European continent, and who in the days and weeks that followed lifted the shackles of tyranny, hedgerow by Normandy hedgerow, mile by bloody mile,” Britain’s ambassador to France, Lord Edward Llewellyn, said at the inauguration of a new British monument to D-Day’s heroes. On D-Day, more than 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches code-named Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword and Gold, carried by 7,000 boats. This year on June 6, the beaches stood vast and nearly empty as the sun emerged, exactly 77 years since the dawn invasion For the second year in a row, anniversary commemorations are marked by virus travel restrictions that prevented veterans or families of fallen soldiers from the U.S., Britain, Canada and other Allied countries from making the trip to France. Only a few officials were allowed exceptions. At the newly-built British Normandy Memorial near the village of Ver-sur-Mer, bagpipes played memorial tunes and warplanes zipped overhead trailing red-white-and-blue smoke. Socially distanced participants stood in awe at the solemnity and serenity of the site, providing a spectacular and poignant view over Gold Beach and the English Channel. The new monument pays tribute to those under British command who died on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy. A text carved on the wall writes: “They died so that Europe might be free.” Visitors stood to salute the more than 22,000 men and women, mostly British soldiers, whose names are etched on its stone columns. Giant screens showed D-Day veterans gathered simultaneously at Britain’s National Memorial Aboretum to watch the Normandy event remotely. Prince Charles, speaking via video link, expressed regret that he couldn’t attend in person. On June 6, 1944, “In the heart of the mist that enveloped the Normandy Coast ... was a lightning bolt of freedom,” French Defense Minister Florence Parly told the ceremony. “France does not forget. France is forever grateful.” Charles Shay, a Penobscot Native American who landed as an U.S. army medic on June 6, 1944 and now calls Normandy home, was the only surviving D-Day veteran at the Ver-sur-Mer ceremony. Another veteran of the Battle of Normandy, British Capt. David Mylchreest, was also present. He landed with his team in Normandy on June 12, 1944, to replace officers who had died in the first days of the fight. Shay then took part in a commemoration at the American Cemetery later in the day in Colleville-sur-Mer, on a bluff overseeing Omaha Beach, in the presence of officials from the United States, Canada, Britain, Germany and other allied countries. The cemetery contains 9,380 graves, most of them for servicemen who lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. Another 1,557 names are inscribed on the Walls of the Missing. Most public events have been canceled, and the official ceremonies were limited to a small number of selected guests and dignitaries. Denis van den Brink, a WWII expert working for the town of Carentan, site of a strategic battle near Utah Beach, acknowledged the “big loss, the big absence is all the veterans who couldn’t travel.” “That really hurts us very much because they are all around 95, 100 years old, and we hope they’re going to last forever. But, you know...” he said. “At least we remain in a certain spirit of commemoration, which is the most important,” he told The Associated Press. Over the anniversary weekend, many local residents have come out to visit the monuments marking the key moments of the fight and show their gratitude to the soldiers. French World War II history enthusiasts, and a few travelers from neighboring European countries, could also be seen in jeeps and military vehicles on the small roads of Normandy. Some reenactors came to Omaha Beach in the early hours of the day to pay tribute to those who fell that day, bringing flowers and American flags. On D-Day, 4,414 Allied troops lost their lives, 2,501 of them Americans. More than 5,000 were wounded. On the German side, several thousand were killed or wounded. Normandy has more than 20 military cemeteries holding mostly Americans, Germans, French, British, Canadians and Polish troops who took part in the historic battle. Dignitaries stressed the importance of keeping D-Day’s legacy alive for future generations. “In the face of the threats of today, we should act together and show unity,” Parly said, “so that the peace and freedom last.” May they be resting in peace for the ultimate sacrifice a human can do for another.

Money vs. corruption: those who think this dinar won't RV have a problem: While there is obviously lots of corruption in Iraq, there is an opposite force: economic progress is embedded into the system because the very thing that makes things corrupt, ie oil money, it also has an incentive built in into it, not only for corruption, but the oil money incentive is built into the dinar, for international trade. That's a corresponding force, to corruption. The RV? It's eventually unstoppable....although Iraq must hold the world record now, for the most push back, against the inevitable...lol...What happens over the long run is that the need for trade and exchanging currency eventually overwhelms the incentive for corruption. 🏗️ We are going to win.

"More political than technical" .. Parliamentary comment on the possibility of passing the oil and gas law Posted 1 minute ago https://iraqakhbar.com/3128146 news source / Baghdad today News source / Baghdad today بغداد Baghdad today - Baghdad Today, Sunday, a member of the Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee, Ghaleb Muhammad Ali, commented on the possibility of passing the oil and gas law during the current parliamentary session. Muhammad Ali told (Baghdad Today), “The oil and gas law is more political than technical, so this is how the political forces look at it, and that is why it cannot be passed in Parliament without the leaders of the political blocs agreeing on it once and for all, but there is no real seriousness in resolving this law.” important during the current parliamentary session.” He added that "the influential Kurdish political forces in the Kurdistan region refuse to legislate this law more than the other political forces, because the legislation of this law means the existence of real and serious control over the region's oil, and for this we find the law has been inoperative for years and will remain suspended until the region's oil remains without real federal oversight

Speculators and exchange rate stability https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=25301 Samir Al-Nusairi Several days ago, a new wave of criticism began from some media outlets affected by rumors launched and driven by speculators in the currency exchange market with the aim of creating a state of confusion and instability and trying to drag the money market into instability and thwarting the Central Bank's plans to control the rates announced by the Central Bank of exchange rates Specific to the Ministry of Finance, banks and the public, and from these rumors is that the Central Bank will make a new change to the current rate. Although the stability of the exchange rate is determined by supply and demand according to the effects and repercussions of the economic reality in a country like Iraq that suffers from challenges, repercussions, economic and financial crises, and structural and systematic defects in the management of the economy and money that the central bank does not bear alone because its role is clear, specific and independent focused on stimulating the economy according to the tools and applications of monetary policy But this cannot be achieved without joint coordination with fiscal policy and other economic sectors, activating the real economy, diversifying sources of national income, and leaving the unilateral economy based on oil as a major resource, which constitutes 93% of the revenues of the general budget and 57% of GDP. Therefore, those who criticize the Central Bank must return to the statement of the Central Bank in which it determined the new exchange rates on December 2020, and in which the Bank clearly and transparently specified the reasons and rationales for determining the price, what measures it will take and what other parties must take in order to maintain the stability of the new rate Because the bank cannot work alone without a coordinated economic and financial approach supported by the Central Bank in accordance with the tasks and objectives stated in Law 56 of 2004, and here we can repeat what was mentioned in the Central Bank’s statement, which is the definitive answer to those who hold the bank responsible for the instability in the exchange rate Where the bank announced in its statement that during the last months of 2020, intensive deliberations took place with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance and the legislative authority, regarding the economic situation in general and the financial crisis that the public finances are going through due to the decline in oil prices and production, and the economic and health challenges. The Board of Directors of the Central Bank also held a number of meetings, some of which hosted the Minister of Finance for the same purpose. He explained that the reasons for adjusting the exchange rate and maintaining its stability in the future are as follows:- 1- It is the structural distortions in the Iraqi economy that have impoverished public finances and restricted the ability of reform that the government and the Ministry of Finance are seeking. It is not a coincidence that the financial situation is so bad, but it took root more than a decade and a half ago due to the political leadership of the economy, the priority of political thinking over economic thought, development priorities and the rules of the relationship. Thus, fiscal policy failed to perform its roles, and monetary policy was preoccupied with restoring the confused financial policy outcomes. 2- The dependence of economic and financial policy on the ambitions and concerns of politicians led to the latest accepted models of financial management in Iraq, and the role of that administration was limited to distributing oil resources to life-sustaining requirements such as salaries and operational requirements. 3- Because of these combined conditions, the Central Bank had no choice but to intervene on more than one occasion to support public finances and save critical public spending requirements. 4- The Central Bank understands the difficulties facing the government’s reform intentions, but this does not prevent it from tying any steps that the monetary authority can take to effective steps to carry out reforms that inevitably affect the institutions of the financial authority, especially the effective collection institutions, customs and tax institutions, and other institutions. The other public levying, and that spending be streamlined and rationalized, and all of this depends on the political will of the higher state institutions that support the financial authority’s directions to achieve this. This requires the government's direction to support the vulnerable groups, which will inevitably be directly affected, especially by any measure to change the exchange rate. 5- The legislative authority will have an important role in supporting the Central Bank’s direction to adjust the foreign exchange rate, as failure to take such a decision may make us obliged to take difficult decisions that may put Iraq in a situation similar to what neighboring countries have been exposed to. It should also be emphasized here that this change (devaluation) in the value of the Iraqi dinar will be for one time only and will not be repeated. 6- The financial crisis that Iraq was subjected to due to the Corona pandemic and the resulting deterioration in oil prices and the decline in oil revenues, this led to a large deficit in the general budget and the Ministry of Finance had to borrow from banks and re-discount them with the Central Bank in large amounts, for the purpose of paying salaries. And meet the other spending needs related to services provided to citizens. * Economic and banking consultant Views 107 Date Added 06/06/2021

So is this really the Doom and Gloom zeffy has been hinting at.....It will be Years before Iraq revalues.

Or is the the Shock and Awe part to scare the Iraqi People into exchanging the larger 3 Zero notes for USD? Just my opinion and I know all to well the PTB in Iraq (or for that matter anywhere else) They have come way to far to start dropping back into the Dark Ages.......GE and Mega Watt Power Plants, Siemens, Deawoo and the Grande Port of Faw, $100 million dollar Steel Mill....just today two of their tankers are cleared and certified to Fly the Iraqi Flag rather than being registered as Jordanian Ships....How can one not see the progress being made to move Iraqi into this as someone here called it the 4th Industrial Revolution, Yota posted Video of High Rises, Iraq has plans for 5 Major Industrial cities....Iraq wants to be the Central hub of the Middle East......With a Currency that is worth less than an Empty Recycled Beer Can.....Something just isn't right Just like Epstein didn't kill himself and no way did sleep joe biden win a far election at 3 AM after the polls had closed.

US army shoots down drones over Iraqi military base US consistently blames Iran-linked Iraqi factions for rocket and other attacks on installations housing its personnel; same base targeted last month by armed UAV By AFPToday, 12:52 pm An aerial file photo taken from a helicopter shows Ain al-Asad air base in the western Anbar desert, Iraq, December 29, 2019. (AP Photo/Nasser Nasser, File) BAGHDAD, Iraq (AFP) — The Iraqi army said Sunday that two drones were destroyed above a base housing US troops, one month after the same base was targeted by an armed drone. The US military’s C-RAM defense system was activated to shoot down the drones above the Ain al-Assad base, located in Iraq’s western desert, the Iraqi military said. Several hours earlier, a rocket was shot down above Baghdad airport, “without causing casualties or damage,” said Colonel Wayne Marotto, spokesman for the US-led military coalition in Iraq. The coalition was sent to Iraq to help the country’s military fight the Islamic State jihadist group — a campaign that Baghdad declared won in late 2017. A picture taken on January 13, 2020, during a press tour organized by the US-led coalition fighting the remnants of the Islamic State group, shows a US soldier walking past a drone at the Ain al-Asad airbase in the western Iraqi province of Anbar (Ayman Henna / AFP) There are currently 2,500 US troops in Iraq, feeding into total coalition troop strength of 3,500. The US consistently blames Iran-linked Iraqi factions for rocket and other attacks against Iraqi installations housing its personnel. Since the start of this year, there have been 39 attacks against US interests in Iraq. The vast majority have been bombs against logistics convoys, while 14 were rocket attacks, some of them claimed by pro-Iran factions. In this February 23, 2017 photo, US Army soldiers stand outside their armored vehicle on a joint base with the Iraqi army, south of Mosul, Iraq. (AP Photo/ Khalid Mohammed, File) For Western diplomats and high-ranking military officials in Iraq, the attacks are not only a danger to US personnel, but they also compromise the fight against ISIS, which retains sleeper cells in mountainous and desert areas. “Those attacks are a distraction,” said one such source. “The only people they are helping are jihadists because every time they attack a base where the coalition has advisors, those advisors have to stop what they are doing to concentrate on force protection.” The use of drones against American interests by Iran-linked factions is a relatively new tactic. The US military has previously accused pro-Iran Iraqi groups of helping Yemen’s Houthi rebels carry out attacks using such devices against Saudi interests.

The value of the Iraqi dinar continues to decline .. government steps to save it and expectations of high market prices Posted 3 hours ago news source / Mawazine News 05:54 – 06/06/2021 https://iraqakhbar.com/3127847 The exchange rates of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar rose , on Sunday, to record levels, reaching 1525 dinars against the dollar in the local markets, despite the government's assurances that it would continue to follow the exchange rates to maintain the price of the dollar. Today, the exchange shops traded the price of the dollar at $1525 per dollar, in a new decline in the value of the Iraqi dinar , a price the dollar has not reached for nearly 14 years, while government sources talked about future steps with the aim of controlling the price of the local market. A government official said in an interview with “Mawazine News” that “the rise of the dollar is a result of market speculation and rumors of a new price rise, and this type made the citizen in a state of confusion because of hoarding the dollar in homes, in addition to the transfer of money from the dinar to many people. dollar”. Another official on the government's measures adds , "The central bank will follow a plan in the coming days, by suspending the license of exchange shops that manipulate the price, in addition to forming price control committees ." He pointed out, "The government's policy is clear, which is to maintain the price of the dollar, and what is happening is not a dollar shortage crisis , but rather speculation in the market only." The prices of consumables have risen in the Iraqi market, for example, mobile recharge cards, some stores, have raised their price. Dealers are also talking about the imminent rise in consumer prices, and this will reduce the purchasing value of citizens.

Good job KRG, I bet you’ll receive your portion of the budget quickly…

Parliamentary Finance: Sending two important files to Baghdad is a positive step to resolve outstanding problems with Erbil Posted 44 seconds ago news source / Iraqi media news agency "conscious" https://iraqakhbar.com/3127830 SULAIMANI — Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Spokesperson Jotiar Adil said on Sunday (June 6) that the KRG plans to send oil and a portion of its non-oil income to Baghdad this week, potentially resolving an impasse over implementation of the federal budget. Adil said during a press conference that he hopes Baghdad will reciprocate and send budget transfers to the Kurdistan Region in the near future. Regarding public sector workers’ salaries, he said, the KRG will pay workers once every month under the framework of the reform law, but did not address longstanding cuts. Under the 2021 Federal Budget Law, which passed on March 31, the KRG is supposed to receive 9.5 trillion Iraqi dinars ($6.5 billion) from the budget, which will be disbursed in monthly increments, in return for submitting 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day to Iraq's oil marketer SOMO for export and a portion of the income derived from customs duties at international border crossings with Iran and Turkey. Those budget transfers would theoretically enable the KRG to pay full public sector salaries. For more than a year it has either not paid public servants or cut their salaries by nearly a quarter, leading to widespread frustration among the Region’s middle class.

Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON *** Mnt Goat *** Article: "ECONOMIST: THE GOVERNMENT’S JUSTIFICATIONS FOR RAISING THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE ARE FLIMSY" Quote: "...in a statement to the “Information” agency that “the currency auction did not decrease in its sales" ...the currency auctions have ended....Not according to this article. *** RVAlready *** Question: [Seems that all of these countries are talk about their future digitized currency. That’s all great but we’re still holding onto Fiat currencies from several countries.. when are they planning on having us send these paper notes to them?] I think any country that terminates a currency has to give you a couple of years to cash out. Most countries will probably just cut back on printed currency, and let attrition happen naturally. *** Frank26 *** the World Bank knows that both of your reforms economic and monetary (but monetary being first) are tied together and the Kurds were the key for your budget that will launch these reforms. They are explaining that the only way your economic reforms will prosper is when and only when the CBI raises the value of your currency through your exchange rate. The World Bank is telling the world it is illogical for Iraq to have a low rate for their currency right now...they need to do something about the exchange rate because...the poverty rate of Iraqi citizens is horrible. They tell the CBI/GOI you're a sovereign country and you can now lift the value... *** MilitiaMan *** My view, is with the massive amount of data we have been showing in articles with links to support the view, is that they are ready and are heavily pressured to go to a market economy... my view is I expect a strong ( like never seen before, as noted on Iraq TV.) international rate to be gamed off the devaluation with the help of the local bankers and traders who are fully aware of what is going to happen next. We have data that supports them saying so...Let’s see what they do next..! Have a Blessed Sunday Everyone ... RON

I like how the article states "they arent very serious about passing the law" because they typically get it done when they act like its not important. When they say its urgent or imminent, it usually doesn't happen.

SULAIMANI — Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Spokesperson Jotiar Adil said on Sunday (June 6) that the KRG plans to send oil and a portion of its non-oil income to Baghdad this week, potentially resolving an impasse over implementation of the federal budget.

Report: Global petrostates can forget trillion-dollar oil and gas tax revenues as energy transition bites 2021-06-06 06:28 Shafaq News / The global government income from oil and gas taxation fell to a multi-year low in 2020 of around $560 billion, as production and prices shrunk. Before Covid-19, oil and gas taxes usually exceeded the trillion-dollar mark. Petrostates will miss these former glories, a Rystad Energy report projects, as the accelerating energy transition will cause this source of state income to shrink and never again exceed or meet $1 trillion. 2021 will be the last year global oil and gas taxes will approach the trillion-dollar mark, reaching about $975 billion according to Rystad Energy estimates, assisted by high oil prices. From 2022, taxes will be limited to the low $800 billion range, only ticking up in the early 2030s to about $900 billion, before starting their final and uninterrupted decline to as low as $580 billion in 2040 and about $350 billion in 2050. “As the energy transition ramps up, countries highly dependent on tax revenue from the upstream industry may have no other option than to diversify their economy to sustain state budgets. This is clearly the rational course for them to follow, but there are inherent challenges in the form of insufficient economic and legal institutions, infrastructure and human capital,“ says Espen Erlingsen, head of upstream research at Rystad Energy. The earlier the energy transition risks are realized the better they can be addressed. Structural changes will be crucial to stabilize petroleum-reliant economies and avoid geopolitical instability as the global energy systems shift onto a sustainable pathway, Erlingsen adds. Using Saudi Arabia as an example, we see that about half of the government take is at risk towards 2050, while total tax income from oil and gas made up 27% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019. Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait and Libya – all of which are heavily dependent on tax revenue from the upstream industry – all garnered around 40% of GDP in 2019 from oil and gas tax revenue. In these countries, about 50% of the government take is at risk, meaning that this group is the most exposed to revenue risk as a result of the energy transition. Source: Rystad Energy
